Secret weapon - blue fox inline spinner

My secret weapons are 4" gycb cut tails, super fluke Jr's and roboworm alive shad and straight tails. If I can't get bit on any of those, the fish arnt there.

And even though they are small finesse baits, I've caught the most and my biggest bass and peacocks on these.

If you can find them in a decent color, Wave Worm's Tiki Snake is a crazy good bait.  A fat bodied worm with a curly tail, it came in a 6 inch version. I have horded about 6 bags or so, most of them have be pieced back together with Mend It. They keep producing.

Everyone sit down, I am about to blow the lid off this place...........my secret bait:

 

A 5" green pumpkin stick worm

Yeah, well I got you beat, my secret fishing weapon is me.  The ability to observe, understand, and pattern a body of water to make the best use of the tackle I have to catch fish......and the green pumpkin stick worm maybe part of it too, but shhhhh, don't tell everyone.

a carolina rigged Jitterbug.

I wish I had something secret to share, but my consistent producers are ribbon tail worms and beavers. This spring has had me fishing small lizards and that's the only thing I've caught fish on so far this year. Spring fishing has me scratching my head.

Do what now? The hard bait jitterbug?

Don't remember the name of the color off the top of my head, but the original Zara spook black with the white markings on it like ribs. Also any topwater with an orange dot on the bottom of it

Do what now? The hard bait jitterbug?

Ya man, it works. Just make sure its the pink colored one.

I swear to you guys, I don't have a secret lure, I'm pretty much conventional.

Was Northstar a "Top Secret" jig 2 months ago?

What is that supposed to mean?

There ya go stealing my lines again.

 

Honest to goodness bait that I have never, ever mentioned anywhere, to anyone previously.  Gene Larew Mega Ring Tube.  More fish have been caught in clutch situations for me than with anything else.  I have one tied on from ice out to ice up.

Lol sorry everytime someone asks me irl what I'm using, I always refer back to the c rigged hula popper.

Lately its been a jerkbait rigged on a dropshot.

Furbit - I tell folks about it now that I no longer fish tournaments - people have a difficult time understanding it is much more than a frog bait - much more. But you gotta believe.

Don't have any secret baits, just secret spots.

 

Many of which are obvious and in plain site.

 

However, when visited under the cover of darkness, yield very worthy results.

 

Early in the year, a Rapala Subwalk can be very good. (During the day of course).
